[i]Octavia slowly stumbled after Jessica, blood continuing to drip from her leg and sides as her brother only sighed and left the courtyard, leaving Derek alone.[/i]
English
-
[i]"So, Octavia - Tell me about yourself." [/i]
-
[b][u]"...Alright, fine.."[/u][/b] [i]Octavia was silent after a moment once Jess had spoken, but eventually broke the silence and began speaking.[/i] [b][u]"Used to live in a different place from this - the Peaks, I believed it was called. Very medieval, simplistic place. Never got used to it, since my parents moved towards the central landmass on the planet. I took up a life of farming alongside my brother, and...[/u][/b] [b][u]...Well, things didn't turn out well. Four years ago, my parents were killed by bandits. The homestead that we lived upon was...decimated. Burned to the ground. It...wasn't pleasant. Afterwards, we set off for a short while as vigilantes. Then...well, we ended up here."[/u][/b]
-
[i]"Damn, I'm... Sorry. I guess the other guy's your brother?" [/i]
-
[b][u]"You don't have to be sorry. And yeah, that's my brother. Olythran. He's...okay. Too brash for my tastes, but still lovable."[/u][/b]
-
[i]"Tell me about him." [/i]
-
[b][u]"There's not much to say about him. He's probably one of the nicer people that you'll find here, but if something happens? He...well, tends to get violent.[/u][/b] [b][u]Between you and me? Someone like you could probably manipulate him quite well. He just...doesn't seem like the type to resist women, even though I've barely seen him with a girl."[/u][/b]
-
[i]"...And you tell that to the person most likely to use him?" [/i]
-
[b][u]"Yes, I am. It would be...interesting to see, at least to me."[/u][/b]
-
[i]"So you want me to do it?" [/i]
-
[b][u]"...Eh, it would certainly be funny. But honestly... Meh, I'm mixed upon it. Do what you wish."[/u][/b]
-
[i]"I can do it if you really want me to. No immediate plans but I can." [/i]
-
[b][u]"...I find it ironic that you're suddenly willing to do things...if I want you to. Go ahead and try it in the future, if honestly sounds funny to do."[/u][/b]
-
[i]"I'm just bored and 99% sure you're not lesbian, so this is the next best thing. Besides, playing people like a piano is an art, and a fun one at that." [/i]
-
[b][u]"...Not exactly straight, though."[/u][/b] [i]Out of all the terms that Octavia knew - she knew the whole straight/gäy/lesbo/bi stuff.[/i] [b][u]"But yeah, go ahead."[/u][/b]
-
[i]"Go ahead? Was that an invite? Because I will."[/i]
-
[i]For a moment, Octavia chuckled calmly, her hands delving into her pockets.[/i] [b][u]"I guess it is an invitation. By the way...I don't think that I caught your name. Sorry, just...curious."[/u][/b]
-
[i]"Jessica Williams, most just call me Jess though. You are..?"[/i]
-
[b][u]"Octavia Courter Coram, of the Peaks. Unusually long name, I know...I usually go by Octa to the civilians, or Courter."[/u][/b]
-
[i]"Holy shit Octavia's a beautiful name how the -blam!- haven't I heard it before." [/i]
-
[b][u]"...You're screwing with me."[/u][/b] [i]Octavia muttered in a calm demeanor. [/i] [b][u]"I heavily doubt that you like the name "Octavia". It's hard to believe you, after what you said.."[/u][/b]
-
[i]"Firstly, not yet, that's later. Secondly, I'm serious - The name us genuinely beautiful." [/i]
-
[b][u]"Oh. Thanks, I guess.. I guess this is when I say that I love the name Jessica?"[/u][/b] [i]Octavia joked, although she didn't fully trust Jess. Yet, anyhow.[/i]
-
[i]"Thank you, it's common but still nice," Jessica said with a polite bow to Octa. "So, Octa, what exactly do you do in your free time?" [/i]
-
[b][u]"Other than the vigilante/merc life? Not much at all. I don't have much free time at all to do the things that I'd love to, so...yeah."[/u][/b]
-
[i]"What's got you so busy?"[/i]
